Just a reminder that the 8th grade band will be performing tomorrow at Lenoir-Rhyne University at 11am for Music Performance Adjudication (MPA). Parents are allowed to attend. The performance is in PE Monroe Auditorium. Dress for the concert is VERY important. Students will need to wear either black or black and white. If ladies are wearing dresses, they need to meet school dress codes. No pants with holes in them. This is the most important concert we've had in their middle school careers and we need to look the part! We will be stopping at the mall on the way home for lunch. Students either need to bring money or pack a lunch. All of this will be happening within the school day.

Madison auditioned against the best 14 middle school oboists in the state and took one of the two available spots in the band.
